A Tree

Life is a tree Climb up! Climb to reach the unknown Climb to reach the unexpected

The beginning is easy, The branches are thick And wishes wont let you slip That are given to you by the warm breeze That blows in the leaves That make that sound That sound that gives you safety and The warmth that you need to climb

The branches can hold a lot of weight You can jump on them They wont break!

If you climb up though, Branches get thin Each thinner and smaller You still didn’t reach the top which means, try hard And do not give up The Hope The Hope that is responsible for all that That gives you power and the will To climb it To master the challenge To master Life Because if you fail to climb the tree Then you failed at life
